QuickerNES project is an attempt at making QuickNES even faster on modern x86-64 systems for the purposes of botting. Nevertheless, it preserves all functionality of QuickNES so it could be adopted into other projects. The main features are:

Core re-record performance improvement of 20~68% across 20 games (see benchmark results)
Implements all 54 mappers in the libretro fork (+mapper 70, which is a copy of mapper 154)
Test set of 28 movies that replicate QuickNES final state hash
CI pipeline with 2 open source game tests
Overall code modernization and simplification
Added FourScore input support

Feedback and collaboration are highly appreciated. Github: https://github.com/SergioMartin86/quickerNES

Is there any accuracy that gets sacrificed from QuickNES? Or is this simply an improvement to the performance?

There is no accuracy sacrificed, at least as far as these tests show. I tried my best to keep the emulation intact and only improve performance. Adding more games and tests should help in making sure these optimizations don't diverge from the original emulator. A small caveat for the benchmark is that I use partial save states for QuickerNES (e.g. for some games I do not preserve the nametable and sprite memory). This helps performance a bit in re-recording for botting purposes but wouldn't be useful for casual gameplay.

Always good to see the limits of perf being pushed. It was brought up on Discord earlier, but I've opened TASEmulators/BizHawk#3848 to discuss including your work in BizHawk.

I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. ~~This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch.~~ nope Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.

Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.
